We are happy to announce that Zoerkler has been awarded the Innovation Award Burgenland 2017 for the project of development, production and testing of the complete drive system for the Russian Helicopter Ka-62.

The design of this drive system distinguishes from conventional systems by its innovative characteristics. The transmission is substantially flatter than usual transmissions, which means that even after alightning on water all 17 people in the helicopter can get out of the cabin without problems. This is not possible with conventional systems. The oil system is completely integrated into the housing of the transmission, which makes it a very failsafe drive system. Additionally, the precision of the complete system is a substantial characteristic of this new development.

This award is a great honour for us and we wish to express our thankfulness to Wirtschaft Burgenland GmbH, the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, Unicredit Bank Austria AG, Governor of Burgenland Hans Niessl and Member of the Provincial Government Alexander Petschnig.

We express our special gratitude to our staff members, who enabled the achievement of this success with high commitment and know-how and to our long-term partners Raiffeisenlandesbank Burgenland, Sparkasse Hainburg-Bruck-Neusiedl AG and TWP tax consultancy. Without their support it would not be possible to realize such a project.
